Can you try "sh -x /etc/init.d/postgresql start" there and send us the
output?

Here it does:

+ [ -d /var/run/postgresql ]
+ install -d -m 2775 -o postgres -g postgres /var/run/postgresql

Btw, this seems to be the actual problem here.

That's a non-standard setup. Could it be the case that this partition
wasn't mounted during your tests, or something like that?
